Glenn Dale Hospital
This hospital was used beginning in the 1930s through the '50s as a Sanitarium for those with tuberculosus. When TB died down it became a place "to go and die" until 1984 when it was finally shut down and abandoned. This is the front door to the Adult wing. There is also a large children's wing. I found this place so fascinating I am going back in the next few weeks to complete a series.
Shot in RAW, worked with balance contrast, desaturate, convert to grey scale, duotone with brown. Levels.

This is a nice iamge. I like the dark and light coloring seen throughtout the image and i also liek the texture and overgrowth on the building nice work.
Great shot but the angle is off and it makes it very distracting. I like the B&W conversion and the fact that it is centered. I find it gives this photo a certain characteristic. Well done and good luck with this challenge.
